on Cisco-Devices a Shortcut "Shift-Ctrl-6 +x" escapes the session and takes you back to your previous session. On Windows this worked regardless of the terminal-programm (TeraTerm, Putty, SecureCRT). But in iTerm i'm not able to send this sequence.
Can anyone tell me how this is done? Any Cisco-Admins here?
For clarification I'll paste a part of the Cisco-documentation:

Escaping Terminal Sessions and Switching to Other Connections
After you have started a connection, you can escape out of the current terminal session by using the escape key sequence (Ctrl-Shift-6 then X by default). You can type the command character as you hold down the Ctrl key or with the Ctrl key released; you can type either uppercase or lowercase letters.
In screen output examples that show two caret (^^) symbols together, the first caret represents the Control key (Ctrl) and the second caret represents the key sequence Shift-6. The double-caret combination (^^) means hold down the Ctrl key while you press the Shift and the 6 key.
By default, the escape key sequence is Ctrl-Shift-6, X.

Thanks, Kal
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
the question here is what will ctrl-shift-6 produce on an US-ENGLISH-keyboard?!
The output will be a carret or this symbol: ^ (that thing that looks like a roof)
And that carret is somewhere else depending on the keyboard you use - in my case (German keyboard on a MAC) ctrl-carret will do the trick ;-) The carret is located on my keyboard on the top left beneath the ESC-key.
Happy hunting
